Compared to the silver skunk, the conkushian is way behind in terms of side shoots. After topping though, it looks like its trying to get some growth in. Notice the way the large fan leaves stack in this top view:



Isn't that a beautiful plant? It reminds me of a flowerhorn cichlid fish.

Next is a detail shot of the side branches. These shoots are around 2". Some growth may be stalled due to switching to CFL in this heatwave.



Plant view. I'll have to keep an eye on this one. The conkushian may be best suited to bud on a stick-style grow.



The SRSS needs to be put into flower ASAP. I know its going to explode after I flip it and low stress train all of those shoots. You can see in the white jones flowering pics on page two how I train plants. Just got to check the trichs on the girls in the flower tent.

Looking real lush an happy there wooly.
Love the growth in those 1 gallon rootpots. i use to use them with coco in my tables...lots better than a plastic pot for sure when it comes to great root structure/growth.
can't wait to see them flower out.

Its looking like I have a lot of dudes in the tent, lol. I'm pretty good at pistil hunting and the last few days have been fruitless. I've sent 3 plants to exile, not dead, but not in the veg tent.

Two big RKS and one SRSS are in exile. I'm not in the pollen business so I'm giving them another few days to show me some sugar or they are kaput.

The cuts I took from the SRSS are doing great. The fem Conkushian is still having anemic side shoot growth... it's screeming for the LEDs, but its too hot to run them in the day.

I'm in no hurry though. There will be room for the flower tent for teh SRSS in a day... Or depending on my male plant percentage, I'll tier her down and veg her to get more of a tree.

Reminder: Veg tent has ~450 LED, Flower tent has 2x 300w LED panel. Veg tent is older models (more purple), Flower tent later models (more powerful, whiter). Feeding H&G Cocos at 6-700 ppm in veg.

All the plant foliage looks great. No yellowing or burnt tips. Vibrant growth all around.

Rotate 50% and less strength nutes. Flower using H&G cocos + Jack's bloom booster once a week.

The sooner I can Id the males the more room I get in the veg tent. If I end up with only two girls I'm ok with that. The Conkushian is very kushy, and the SRSS has the vigor I'm looking for.

And hey medman and others, I appreciate the K+ as I know your a pretty busy dude! Luckily I've done this shit before, you can enjoy the show!

Put the SRSS #4 into flower. Tied down a few branches, and gave her some bloom nutes.

edit: July 19th, 1st SRSS clone roots. Cool!

Stuff since last update:

- Found one more male conkushian, he's chopped.
- I put the remaining plants into flower. I have about 7 that I can't positively ID yet
- The silver rock star kush has been flowering for a week. Put her in a tomato cage and tied down all the branches to even the canopy. Its a nice plant!
- took cuts off of the female conkushian and pruned leaves to open canopy
- all the cuts from the srss have rooted and are busting out extreme root growth

[woolybear]

Crazy idea: The Conkushian isn't really growing that much. I'm thinking of leaning her on her side at around 45% to force growth that way.

I did it with my xmas specials (see sig). I'll have the room, just need to make a rig to support her at an angle. Any ideas?

Pulling up a chair for this one.

SRSS: Day 10 Flower

I've tied down the main branches and five nice tops are forming.



Here's the conkushian, day two. Yesterday I leaned her on the side. Only took her a few hours to reorientate.

I tied down a bunch of stems to pull them downward. Here's the top view:



This shows some of the low-stress training. Lots of pruning involved too, as this plant's leaves naturally form shields to block light from penetrating the canopy.



And a view under the plant. This one has developed a very sturdy trunk.



Here's the tent that I just put into flower. All the other plants I'm not sure what the sex is.



Happy grown and always be flowering!

2 more females confirmed

An RKS and Conkushian showed me some pistils tonite. Took cuts off the rks and ties down her tops.

The conkushian has rather feeble growth, the lower nodes looking like 1/2" long cabbage. trimmed some of the undergrowth but took no cuts.

Sweet!
